In one Age, called the Fourth Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Land of the Crystal Throne. It sped across the great Aryth Ocean to the Tai’Seanchan coast. It continued over the Mountains of Mist, picking up the scent of Two Rivers fine tabac and singing along to a tune made by a Tinker’s tea kettle. It swirled around the vast prairie known as the Caralain Grass, with it’s Black Tower fortress, and the island city of Tar Valon, home of the fabled Ogier-made White Tower...The wind swept through the valleys, skimming along the lake that once was Shadar Logoth, lifting the raven in flight. It howled through the Blight past the snorts and bellows of Trollocs, carrying on it the stench of their cookpots and rot as it whipped by a Myrddraal without creating so much as a ripple in its dark cloak. If you listen closely to the wind you can hear the sound of “friends” whispering in the dark as it whistles by you. The shadows beckon you to their warm embrace; where will the wind take you? For you must know, the wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was A beginning.
Current Events
The Black Tower’s Water Legion are the healers, weather workers, and sailors of the Asha’man. They are also their most visible representatives to the common people; if a farmer has met an Asha’man, odds are good he was a member of the Water Legion.
Their responsibilities are broad, but their are two main talents that the Legion looks for in interested Dedicated. Healers are always in demand, and are often posted in specific areas with other Legions where Asha’man are likely to experience combat. Despite their talents in this area, few outsiders deliberately seek out the Asha’man for healing, preferring the ministrations of local wise women or Aes Sedai. Still, few can argue with the Water Legion’s skill; as medics for the battlefield, they are without compare.
The other skill highly prized by the Water Legion is the ability to manipulate the weather. Most, if not all, Asha’man cloud dancers find their way to the Water Legion. They have more freedom of movement than their healer compatriots, often stationed in broad geographic areas and given wide latitude on their tasks (often assisting farmers with the weather necessary for managing crops.) They are widely respected for these actions, in spite of the Black Tower’s otherwise precarious reputation.
Cloud dancer Asha’man also work closely with Tear’s navy, and in fact are largely responsible for its existence. Tairen ships for trade or patrol often have an Asha’man of the Water Legion aboard, and though they do not yet rival the Seafolk and their Windfinders they are uncomfortably close in the mind of the Atha’an Miere.
